OK, Folks, you know the drill. Allright everyone, let’s gather in front of our large, 13″, Black and White TV set, and watch as a tall, lanky man in a khaki uniform, wearing a sombrero, strides out, introduces himself as Sheriff John<\/a>, and says, “This morning, we have a special request. This is a traditional Mexican birthday song<\/a> that is often sung at birthday parties, anniversaries, and serenatas. Today, we present Las Ma\u00f1anitas<\/a> (music here<\/a>) for <\/a> transitfan<\/b><\/a>.” He clears his throat, a bell note<\/a> is heard, and he starts singing:<\/p>\n\n\n
Estas son las ma\u00f1anitas que cantaba el rey David
\nHoy por ser d\u00eda de tu santo te las cantamos aqu\u00ed.
\nDespierta mi bien despierta
\nMira que ya amaneci\u00f3
\nYa los pajaritos cantan
\nLa luna ya se meti\u00f3.<\/p>\n

\u00a1Qu\u00e9 linda est\u00e1 la ma\u00f1ana hoy que vengo a saludarte
\nVenimos todos con gusto y placer a felicitarte!
\nEl d\u00eda en que t\u00fa naciste, nacieron todas las flores
\nEn la pila del bautizmo cantaron los ruise\u00f1ores.
\nYa viene amaneciendo ya la luz que ya Dios di\u00f3.
\nLevantarse de la ma\u00f1ana, mira que ya amaneci\u00f3.<\/td>\n

   <\/td>\nDe las estrellas del cielo tengo que bajarte dos,
\nUna para saludarte, otra para decirte adi\u00f3s.
\nVolaron cuatro palomas por toditas las ciudades
\nhoy por ser d\u00eda de tu santo te deseamos felicidades.
\nCon r\u00e1cimos de flores hoy te vengo a saludar.
\nY hoy por ser d\u00eda de tu santo te venimos a cantar.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

What is Las Ma\u00f1anitas? It is a children’s song, poetically translated as: “These are the lovely ma\u00f1anitas that were sung by King David. Today we sing them to a loved one who will be happy. Wake up this early morning and the sun you will see. As the moon leaves us this morning, all the birds they will sing. How beautiful is the morning that I come to share with you. We all come in celebration of this special day just for you. The day, it is a dawning and the light of day has come. Awaken early this morning to see all that we have done.”<\/p>\n

Happy Birthday, <\/a> transitfan<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n
